Yeah, I'll be on more. I have a computer tech class now that's a total drag, so I'll blog during it.
To answer your question, it's a common misconception that mormons still practice polygamy. When the LDS church first started they did practice having multiple wives, but during the presdential era of Grant, they stopped. Peopl that disagreed with the decision and didn't belive that it was divinely inspired, broke of from the Church and started the FLDS church, or the "Fundaemental" LDS Church. Those in that religion still practice polygamy and where pioneer clothing etc.
I belong the the LDS Church and we practice monogamy like everyone else. The LDS Church also teaches the men and women are seperate (so different) but equal. They believe that men have a job and women have a job and that they are different, but no one is better than the other. So it's actually very empowering to women. :)
Oh, my friend did something similar to this on dA! You can do it if you want, but I probably won't get to repost it. D:
So you're going to post more now? I hope so. ^_^ I didn't know you're mormon. Don't worry; I won't say anything anti-you. I'm just curious about it...like about the whole multiple wives thing. Do you have a choice in that matter? Like who you want to marry, or if you even have to be with a guy that will have more than one wife? Sorry, I'm just wondering. I don't really know much about your religion! D: I've just heard things about polygamy.
